Chelsea reunion for Lukaku?

But it seems that they are now close to landing their man. if everything goes according to Chelsea’s plan, the 28-year-old could become Thomas Tuchel’s second signing of the summer.

The Blues have already signed ex-Fulham stopper, Marcus Bettinelli, perhaps to replace the outgoing Willy Caballero. Chelsea’s business this summer has largely focused on sales.

A number of players have already left the club, including Marc Guehi, Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud, and few others. And that would undoubtedly help them when they look to bring in new faces.

The freed up spots in Tuchel’s squad is accompanied by the incoming transfer fees from the above sales, and not to mention the amount of money taken off their wage bill for this season.
